Former MLB C/IF/OF Phil Nevin, 36, has announced his retirement, according to the Associated Press. Nevin, who was a free agent after the 2006 season, said he didn't get an offer he liked, and also wanted to end speculation that the San Diego Padres were considering bringing him back. He finished his career with a .270 batting average, 208 home runs and 743 runs batted in. Nevin recently joined a pregame show on the Padres' flagship radio station and said he's signed with ESPN to work as an analyst during college regionals and the College World Series.

Minnesota Twins IF/OF Phil Nevin (wrist) suffered a bruised left wrist, during the game against the Baltimore Orioles, Saturday, Sept. 23, according to David Ginsburg of the Associated Press. X-rays were negative.

The Seattle Post-Intelligencer reports the Minnesota Twins have acquired infielder Phil Nevin and cash considerations from the Chicago Cubs in exchange for a player to be named later. Nevin had filled in while regular Cubs 1B Derrek Lee (hand) was on the disabled list, but Lee has since returned to action.
